This famous Christmas carol uses music adapted from two numbers in "Messiah", first performed in Dublin on April 13, 1742. The text, based on Psalm 98, was written by theologian and poet Isaac Watts in 1719. It was set during the nineteenth century to a conflation of the chorus "Lift up your heads" (Part II) and the accompanied tenor recitative "Comfort ye" (Part I) by the Boston composer and music publisher Lowell Mason.
